Really great show. To add to the instrument summary, Trent's guitar seemed to primarily be his octave-tuned one so he could play it slide guitar style and create his DRONES. He also played a little electric drum kit for BBB and had lots of fun clicking his drumsticks together. I would say Ally was almost 90% bass guitar, and was great at it.

Mariqueen was fucking spectacular. Vocal haters can suck a bag of dicks, because she didn't miss a note.

The Space In Between remix had almost no connection to the original other than the lyrics, as far as I could tell. A lot of songs were even better live. I hope there's a cool document of these versions eventually. Tracks from the original EP were improved a lot -- and sort of modified to fit the WO style. Believers was very different too, only BBB and A Drowning were relatively untouched as far as I could tell. And as we saw in the teaser vid, The Loop Closes got a very prominent disco beat under it that made it more fun to dance to live.

Again, great show. The optical illusion visuals were amazing. People where I stood gasped in shock when they thought the stage was moving towards them. And then even when they realized it was a trick, they gasped again when they moved back. So fucking cool.

It was an alright performance. The visuals were neat but it felt like they really took away from the performance and band energy. That said, the songs that had minimal visual distractions were really nice and worked. There were a hand full of songs that did not seem to translate well at all live. Overall, it wasn't bad though.

Also, it was nice seeing Gary Numan and Josh Freese swing by to see their first show.

The few songs that didn't translate well, "welcome oblivion, We fade Away" seemed to be due to Trent's guitar being too quiet.
